proud

i love pride weekend. for those of you who haven't ever been to a pride parade, it is amazing. there are beads, glitter, rainbows, water guns, candy, dancing, music and costumes. so kind of some of my favorite things. a few years ago, lp and i were in san francisco for pride and it was super fun crazy times (sf is like the pride of all prides). 

this year, we decided to walk down to the end of the parade in the hopes that it would be less crowded. can you say, old people? yeah, we are old like that. anyway, we headed out and it was so dead when we first got there. score. we found a lovely shady spot and settled in for the parade. later on, it got way crazier and more crowded (which meant it was time for us to go!) but it was quite nice at the beginning. 

now, dc pride always makes me laugh because it's so sterotypical of the city in general. there are total politics and politicians involved and it's a little stuffier than some of the other parades. overall, i love it though, seeing as it is what it is!!!
